J.P. Morgan just hired an FX salesperson from Nomura and an IBD VP from Barclays

J.P. Morgan is hiring in London. OK, it can’t be said to be doing so “aggressively”, but it is doing a bit of hiring – even in fixed income.

The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Register, mediated by financial services M&A boutique IMAS, shows that J.P. Morgan added Selva Gonca on 5 January. Gonca previously spent two years working for Nomura International and nearly four years at Commerzbank. At Nomura, she was a vice president in MENA (Middle East and North Africa) FX sales. It’s not clear what her role will be at J.P. Morgan, but we assume that it will be similar.

J.P. Morgan also boosted its London IBD business with the addition of Alexander Voigt, a former vice president in investment banking at Barclays. A graduate of the WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany, Voigt had worked for Barclays since 2008.
